WeatherBrains

Joining us tonight is Dr. Charles A. Doswell. Some technical issues delayed Dr. Doswell from joining us, but we got them solved. Dr. Doswell has been on WeatherBrains a number of times, the last time was episode 583.

This show features a full house of storm chasing legends. This includes Jeff Piotrowski and Tim Marshall.

It's a full house for this episode of WeatherBrains with representatives from a number of weather-related podcasts. Joining us are Becky DePodwin, Ice Station Housman, Scotty Powell from Carolina Weather Gang, Castle Williams, WeatherHype, Mark Jelinek, What is it About the Weather, and Phil Johnson of Storm Front Freaks Podcast.

Joining us for this episode is Gregory Mandt who has overall responsibility for the JPSS Program. In this role, Mandt oversees the development, acquisition, integration, installation, and acceptance of major system elements (spacecraft, instruments, launch services and ground systems) for all four JPSS satellites, the first of which was successfully launched in November, 2017, and the NOAA-NASA Suomi NPP satellite. Before coming to JPSS, Mandt served as System Program Director for the GOES-R Series program for nine years, culminating in the successful launch of the GOES-R/16 satellite in November, 2016.

No guest this week on WeatherBrains... just an extended discussion among our regulars!

The WeatherBrains podcast has been stricken by the flu outbreak going on across the country. Our guest for this episode has come down with the flu, so he has been rescheduled for February 19th. So we go to plan B - a homegrown show featuring Kim Klockow-McClain discussing a talk at the recent AMS conference that she was involved with. As James says, "It could be one of the greatest shows ever."

Joining us tonight is Dr. Marshall Shepherd. He needs almost no introduction to our audience as a former President of the AMS and the host of The Weather Channel’s WxGeeks show. Dr. Marshall Shepherd, welcome to WeatherBrains! Dr. Shepherd was a guest panelist on episode 572.

Tonight's Guest WeatherBrain is a Space Weather Physicist. She works for the Aerospace Corporation. She is also the space weather person for TWIT. Dr. Tamitha Skov, welcome to WeatherBrains!
